Gnarled root or trunk, probably from chilopsis linearis (desert willow), which seems to be the only tree in Bull Canyon

On my left as I climb Kelbaker Road are the Providence Mountains, where I hiked the past two days
If I have my bearings correctly... Cornfield Spring Canyon is at the left where the ridgeline dips a little; Rex Mine is the tiny hill in the middleground; and West Edgar Canyon #3 enters the mountains at a slightly dark area to the right.
